"Suspenseis worse than bitter grief,
The lad will come no more;
why should we longer watch and wait?
Turn the key in the door.
From weary days aud lonely nights
The light of hope is fed;
say the ship is lost, good wife,
And our BARN is dead"
Husband. the last words that spoke
Just as he left the shore,
Were Come thou early. come thou late,
Thou'lt find an open door;
Open thy mothers heart and hand,
Whatever Else betide.
And so cannot turn the key

And seventy times the seven;

In Jericho, Palestine, on the 18th Of
May, the mercury stood at 1873 in the
shade. Our informant, Miss Won Finkel-
steir, who was there at the time, says
that because the air was absolutely dry
she felt it less than the temperature at
100 here. No wonder, however, that

ton, it is supposed that the rain percolatIng
through tho earth is washing q much larger
quantity into the ocean by underground
channels. In the towns of Northwlch and
Winsford the houses are settling down in all
sorts of ways, as chance may determine,
windows and doors often standing at acute
angles TO the foot walks, and these rising oc-
casionally In waves. Several months 6 the
earth near the Wheatsheaf inn sank very sud
denly, and afterward the bottom of the
cellar dropped out" while several men were
ct work In 1t. Both cellar bottom and the
earth of the earlier depression fell into an old
salt mine full OF water; and the men were
saved with much difficulty. The cut shows
tho Red Lion inn at Winsford, which has
sunk thirty-seven feet and a half since 1876,
and is still sinking. 1t was formerly SO high
that the first floor was reached by a high
flight OF steps. Near by stands the solitary
chimney of some old salt works, all the rest
of the building having fallen into the cavern.
The sides Of the cavity above it are somewhat
rounded of by rain, and then n deep mere or
lake with no outlet Is formed.

Longer than tho Brooklyn bridge. Thia
bridge, in addition TO land approaches, will
ave two OF the largest spans in the world,
each of 100 feet, with three steel towers,
90 feet high and about 800 feet square at the
base. Fow of the highest structures in the
world equal this. Leave out the Washington
monument, the Pyramids and st. Peters, and
there are no others that coue readily 10
mind.
Bridges have always engaged the attention
of everybody, from the unlettered hind to the
man of science. The bridges of old Rome
were q part OF its glory. The Romans con-
structed tho first stone bridges. After the
fall of the Roman empire there were several
centuries which produced no bridges worthy
of note except those built by the Moors of
Spain.
The old London bridge was the first stone
bridge over the Thames. 1t was begun in 1l76
by Peter of Colechurch, who died before the
completion of his work, and was buried in the
crypt OF tho chapel erected on the center pier.
The bridge was completed in 1909, during the
reign of King John. 1t was chiefly remark
able for its maSsiveness- 1t contained about
twice as much material Us It needed.
Venice has $40 bridges. One OF tho most
remarkable bridges In Britain is the bridge OF
Pont-y-Prydd, over the Taff in Wales. 1t
was built in l755 by an uneducated mason
named Edwards, after he had made two
unsuccessful trials. 1t consists OF n single
circular arch, with q span OF 40 feet and a
rise of IS feet. Tho new London bridge Ia
a magnificent structure of granite, and was
completed in 1881. 1t has five arches. No
finer example Of stone bridge exists than tho
High bridge OF the croton aqueduct, over the
Harlem river in this city.
Suspension bridges arc of very remote
origin, In China some still exist that were
built In A. d. &. In this country tho first
suspension bridges were built from 1870 to
1910. and were all small and constructed with
chain cables.
The suspension bridge over the Ohio at
Cincinnati Is a splendid structure, as is also
the bridge over the Mississippi at st. Louis,
designed by James d. Eads.

TORPEDO BOAT FEARLESS.

The Latest Addition Made to the
Queens Navee."
The English are constantly adding to their
navy vessels Of such types as seam likely to
survive. The latest addition Il u twin screw
torpedo boat of the Scout class, named Fear
less, of which a cut is here presented. She is
built Of steel throughout, Is 22o feet long, 81
feet extreme breadth and 10 feet 8 inches
depth in hold. Her displacement is 1880
tons, her mean draught Is feet @ inches.
Each of her twin screws Is driven by an in
dependent pair of engines of the collective
force Of 1,6OO horse power, the average
indicated horse power for both pairs
OF engines being $500. By the utiliza-
ton OF cast steel in the manufacture
Of trimmings n very considerable reduction In
weight has been attained. The Fearless
carries four five inch pivoted guns, eight
N~ordenfeldt and two Gardner machine guns.

A'CoMNUEIcATIoN from the members
OF the school board, published in another

concerning which it has been assailed.
The schools of Cheyenne, under the pres

all citizens are interested in a matter so
important to public welfare as the main.
tenance Of an efficient and progressive
educational system. This can best be
done by continuing in Office gentlemen
eonversant with its duties and who have
shown themselves as competent in every

HAROLD M. sEWALL,

Lately Appointed Consul General to tho
Samoan Islands.
The Importance of the Samoan Islands, the
attempts of Germany to get them under her
control, and the complications which arose
from the recent joint action of the British
and American representatives there in oppos-
irg the German consul, make the new Amer
lean appointee q man of considerable In
terest. Harold Marsh Sewall, now consul
general of the United States to the Samoan
Islands, is u Milne man and a Harvard grad

ideal Of a "rising young a y US he entered

In ALL parts of the country, especially
throughout the West, there has recently
been an ~unexampled increase in the value
of real estate. This encouraging fact,
even when the appreciation arises from
speculative causes indicates the presence
of favorable coalitions for the investment
of capital and a general feeling of
confidence in the future OF the
localities. Railroad enterprises have done
much to bring about this state OF affairs
not more by the advant ages they promise
to confer than by the belief of far sighted
and observant capitalists that railway con
struction will pay, inasmuch as its ultim-
ate profit must depend upon the country
tributary to the roads.

There are eleven torpedo tubes, or air guns,
one fitted in the bow, under water, n the
others ranged along the upper deck. When
tho gunners are at work they are protected
by shields, revolving with the carriages.
Those working the torpedo tubes are pro
tected by steel plating in each torpedo port.
Four air COMPRISING engines supply motive
power for the torpedoes. There are two
electric search lights OF 10000 candle power,
for use in night service. The Fearless is un.
aimered, and her chief strength lies in her
great speed and In the fact that her engines

HAROLD NJ. SEwALL a year AMI a half
there he went to Apia, Samoa, where ho IL
now vice consul general. 1t is to be hoped
that youth In this case is supplemented
by talent and experience, as affairs in Samoa
are complicated. Germany wants to exer-
cise a protectorate over the islands, which
would result in her anneIing the best of
them; England and the United States want q
native government-"Samoa for the Sam
cans" with King Malitoea as ruler. The
Germans have encouraged a rival, King
Tamasese, and the last United States consul
at Apia was recalled as unfit to deal with
such q complication.
The islands are remarkably fertile In all
tropical productions, and the character Of the
native Samoans has long been matter of in.
terest to e~thnologists; for though OF the same
general race apparently as the Fijians, the
Samoans are the exact opposites in all re.
spects. The former are fierce, filthy, cruel
and hostile to oil civilized men; the latter arc
singulnrly mild in their manners friendly &c
strangers and seem inclined to industry and
civilization. The development OF trade, there,
fore, among the Samoans has been rapid, and
San Francisco merchants count these islands
as one of their best markets. The United
States has q coaling station at Page Page, on
one Of the islands, which Is on the direct route
from San Francisco to Australia. The eli
mate, tempered by the trade winds, is de.
l~ightfully even.
